An electrical contact is provided that includes an elastomeric body extending between a base portion and a mating end portion. The elastomeric body includes a ledge extending from the mating end portion to the base portion of the elastomeric body. The ledge is defined by a portion of the elastomeric body. An electrically conductive pad extends over at least a portion of the mating end portion. An electrically conductive trace is formed on a surface of the ledge. The electrically conductive trace extends from the mating end portion to the base portion of the elastomeric body. The electrically conductive trace is in electrical contact with the electrically conductive pad for electrically connecting the electrically conductive pad with an electrically conductive element engaging the base portion of the elastomeric body.

Elastomeric electrical contact

A cable connector is provided. The cable connector includes a connector housing having a cavity for receiving a contact along an axis, and the cavity has a protrusion therein. The protrusion extends through the axis so that as the contact is inserted into the cavity along the axis, the contact is deflected by the protrusion until the contact moves past the protrusion into a locked position. The contact has a body section with at least one wing extending therefrom. The wing contacts the protrusion as the contact is inserted into the cavity along the axis causing the contact to rotate about the axis.

Cable connector

A connector assembly comprising a central contact, an inner ground shield surrounding at least a portion of the central contact, and a dielectric cover. The dielectric cover has an inner cavity that receives the central contact and the inner ground shield. The dielectric cover includes a dielectric member formed integral therewith. The dielectric member extends into the inner cavity and at least partially surrounds the central contact to partially electrically isolate and separate the central contact and the inner ground shield from one another within the dielectric cover.
